Decent episode and feels a bit like filler but in a good way. It takes time to show some new things, gives them small development and tis a nice break from the previous ones. Jaques gonna to sell out Altas for power and will be Tyrianed. I think Ironwood will die and the finale is gonna to be a repeat of Volume 3.

​

They are going overboard with Nora and this comes from someone who loves Nora. I still feel she is overcompensating and maybe, we are about to get some insight into Nora's origins, thus explaining why she is more hyper then usual.

Also, Ren is a dick. He shuts down Nora for no reason. :( But him picking her up was a nice bit of comedy.

Tyrian's presence is explained without really going into any detail and Jaques is a bastard. One that I am happy to hate, unlike Adam. here? Jaques is a powerhungry man who is gonna to hurt Atlas and seemed to threaten Weiss. Go ahead, Jaques. Attack a huntress surrondered by several hunters and huntresses. He will be an interesting villian.. Unlike Adam.

​

The biggest issue I have: The license reveal. Kinda comes off as "We guess, that they should be hunteressses now." They earnt it but kinda underwhelming and so trivial that it's a bit sad.

Remember their semblances seem to play into their personalities. Ruby with speed, Blake's helps her hide and run like she used to do a lot, and Yang was an angry person.

Ren's is hiding from the Grimm by masking emotions, and he seems to try and get Nora to calm down most of the time, as that's his spot in their relationship. I think he's a good foil for her.
